Sharks announce schedule/rosters for 2016 Rookie Camp

(Nikolay Goldobin will be one of the players participating in the U50 portion of the Sharks rookie camp that begins Thursday at Sharks Ice.)

The Sharks on Tuesday announced the daily schedule for their 2016 Rookie Camp, which will be held primarily at Sharks Ice at San Jose. Sessions are open to the public.

Here’s a roster of the Sharks prospects that will be participating in rookie camp and the Rookie Showcase. They will play two games in Colorado, one vs. the Avalanche rookies on Sept. 17 and one vs. the Anaheim Ducks rookies on Sept. 19.

Here’s a roster of the players (mostly from the Barracuda) that will be participating in the U50 portion of Sharks Rookie Camp and not the showcase.

Different era, Bobby played against a lot of guys who couldn’t skate with today’s players. But Schemko does look god so far.

Isn’t his name Schlemko? Yes.

Tom (fm Quinzee)

I had to schlep over to the roster to be sure.

Still waiting for Dirty Dustin’s karma…but I’ll take this for now.

Superstar-driven team that lacks depth. Very accurate sentiment of the modern NHL paradigm. In the old days, superstars didn’t command 8-figures, so teams had money for some quality L3/4 guys to surround the stars. Heck, they used to be able to keep those guys too. Hence the old dynasty teams.

These days, it seems the NHL talent pool is divided into two categories; the “7 or 8-figure” contracts and the “rest of the players”. GMs have very tough decisions to make, since they must either lock up the superstar, or get great return in a trade, which signals “no Cup for awhile” to their fan bases.

Rock, meet Hard Place.

He’s had the C taken away, his playing time has been cut, more career failure coming?

Tom (fm Quinzee)

Yup. It does make one appreciate DW.

No surprise the philly cheesesteak known as KKurtzy cannot pronounce Mikkel Boedker’s name just like he can’t pronounce Tomas Hertl’s name: it’s not Micheal, you dumbass, just like it’s not Thomas. What IS your problem americano? Please trade KK to Philly’s CSN.

Z.SharkRA

Finally! Thought that would never happen.

Z.SharkRA

That doesn’t matter.

If it’s true that the Merc is slowing discontinuing this blog they should redirect us to the Merc comments section or something. Wake up Curtis, the season’s started…

Buddy Elf

Yah, the guy is a total clown.

Clemenza

Here’s to hoping, right?

ppc

Holy cow, this post is still the latest one for this blog. That’s no bueno.

Tom (fm Quinzee)

Sorta like punching the ice…?

Tom (fm Quinzee)

There are some guys that are just easy to, uh, hate. OK, I’m a hater. But yeah. I hope Quick comes back, but Brown? No way I wish him well. And with him, as if Hertl wasn’t enough, in the 2014 Olympics he tried to maim Datsyuk. I don’t remember the specifics of that play, but I *think* it was totally away from where the puck was. D-bag probably thought he was off-camera so nobody would notice.

Tom (fm Quinzee)

Wow, something we agree on!

Tom (fm Quinzee)

I was joking about the Hawks’ PK the other day, but guess which team has the worst PK percentage? Yes, our very own Sharks!!! On the the other hand, the Hawks have now killed 6 of 13 penalties. I’d rather have a little-penalized team if the PK is gonna suck. It’s still too early to make any serious analysis of team stats, but the Hawks are taking penalties and can’t kill them. Boo-hoo.

Tom (fm Quinzee)

And since there is no topic, here’s another rant. I see a headline that is comparing that Dodger pitcher Kershaw to Babe Ruth. Geez, the guy finally wins a game in the post season and he’s the new Babe Ruth??? I don’t like to jump on younger generation people/writers/bloggers or whatever, etc., but really, a guy who is getting paid gazillions of dollars wins one game in the post season after getting beat like a toy drum for several post-seasons, and now he’s a legend? All that makes me think of Marleau, who for most of his career had post-season stats that were BETTER than his regular season, and all the guy gets is dumped on.

Tom (fm Quinzee)

Now we know how Rip Van Winkle felt…

But….but….baseball is a team sport where one guy can’t win a championship alone!

Giants and A’s seasons are over, Niners suck, and Warriors regular season games haven’t started. Yet successful Bay Area teams like the undefeated Sharks are still not getting much media coverage from the Bay Area sports news group….just like Brodie complained about several times.
On the KNBR podcast website, there are only less than 4 recent Sharks-related audio clips. The majority of the audio clips are related to how bad the Niners are and the Giants meltdown.
There’s my rant of the day until after the game tonight. Have a good day.

And – baseball fans actually brag about this – it has no clock!!! Wow. If ever there were a sport that needed a clock, it’s baseball. I know some people who are cricket fans (yes), and that’s a game where matches go on for days…baseball may be an improvement on its cricket father, but not by a lot.

Tom (fm Quinzee)

Replying to myself, “Self,” I said, and myself said, “What?”

Rip Van Winkle woke up and everything had changed, so bad analogy/metaphor. So what has WTC become? The Picture of Dorian Grey? Back to the Future? Or Oliver Twist, a foundling orphan, abandoned by the Merc?

Breakfast Club? They Were Expendable? Chinatown? The Milagro Bean Field War? The Way We Were?

Same thing happens in every league with a salary cap. The middle class players, the depth players, get it in the neck by changing teams all the time either by trades or free agency. I think the quality of play suffers because the superstars aren’t any more dominant than they were before but now there is no middle. It is either 8 digit man or rookie too soon on the scene or washout guy willing to play for less.

Salary cap is owner socialism. It is proof the teams would rather make money than win. It hides incompetent front offices behind big splashy signings.

Well, if this blog does “end” I think it will be a story more like “Selena” where CW Nebious is Selena’s manager.

Well that got ugly in a hurry. On to Brooklyn. Got to play better D than that.

Buddy Elf

Yah… The small window of time sealed the game.

Lunch_Box

Ugly, ugly loss but at least it’s the third game of the season and not a game in April or May or June.

Not aggressive enough and playing a lot out of position. Oh well….onto the next game.

J B

Dangit, now I have “I Got You Babe” playing in my head.

spooky

this was a healthy good loss

The Day the Earth Stood Still – the Michael Rennie version, back in the O-6 days. Or the 1980-something film, Iceman, in which the title character is dug out of the Arctic ice and miraculously comes back to life…like we hope this blog will.

Tom (fm Quinzee)

Is rookie camp over yet?

Old Time Hockey Fan

Fugly….with a capital F.
Too much scrambling around.
Jones gave them two softies….
Otherwise the Sharks fought till the very end and nearly tied it.
Give the Rangers credit..they played well.
Looking forward to a huge rebound tonight…
Anyone know a good Sharks hang out in San Luis Obispo???

So you think Matthews shouldn’t have run up the score in a loss?

Gilfan

rumors are they made final cuts and the season has started!

Tom (fm Quinzee)

Morro Bay’s pretty close, there’s probably some sharks there.

Oh, you mean hockey?

Dirty

I’m just gonna go ahead and call Patrick Marleau to be the hero in this one before it turns into another debacle.

Geek Skywalker

How about an update on the team? Bring back Pollack!

Buddy Elf

Wasn’t good looking but it was a win, and after 82, that’s all that will matter.

GP_hockeyhappens

Was better than Monday vs NYR though.

I am still thinking though that Elaine Vin-YO was not happy the score got to 5-4 before the 2 ENGs.

Tom (fm Quinzee)

Take out the second period and I thought the team looked good. Not great, but out-played the Isles.

On that first Isles’ goal, I was going to roast #39, but looked at the replay a few times, he blocked a shot and was slow getting up, it looked like it smarted. That rookie was his responsibility, but it wasn’t as bad as it looked full speed. Even with that, had he gone after the body instead of playing something like zone coverage, he might have stopped that play dead.
